coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 12:49 pm Reminds me of someone using a steel piece from a lathe, in a shape of a coin that was repeated pressed on to the coin. The lines look like something raised from the rounded piece of metal. Just an altered coin. Worth copper melt. It was an error coin with the lamination on the reverse. But was destroyed when it was altered. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 12:20 am Quote: I figure those concentric rings are from the machined hammer head itself. I don't think I've ever seen a hammer with lathe lines on the face. It would have to be a less "finished" piece or tool.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 04:45 am I was thinking it was maybe a machined surfacing sheet metal tool like this 23rd photo from the top https://images.search.yahoo.com/sea...eb&fr=mcafee John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 05:35 am My opinion is PMD. Some sort of metal press stamping machine/ hammering machine used to put a pattern on sheet metal did this. There's literally hundreds of designs and patterns that can be done either by sheet if it's a large machine or a much smaller scale machine to make it more custom and more artistic. It would normally be on a copper, stainless steel or aluminium sheet though, not a coin. Not sure why anyone would do this but I see coins all the time that make me say "why would someone do this?"
